A change of heart

We've talked about it before. I've always had issues with the colour purple, and many of you agreed. I don't know why - it was just this irrational dislike. But then something happened. I bought two purple tops - and quite liked them. I did some pattern designs. In purple. They looked good! And then this:

Our brand new feature wall at the studio. Aubergine! It just went so well with the green that we used for the windows. And I really like it!

The studio office is really starting to come together. This weekend Bianca and I tackled Ikea and came back with a carload of shelves and desks and drawers. Two bruised palms and one purple fingernail later (ahh how ironic) I'd put together the whole lot in an allen key frenzy.

Myself, Bianca and Tegan in our studio office. Plenty more to be done but it's definitely on it's way :)

I can't believe how quickly you've got all of this together! Love those floors. And the wall. (I'm the same with purple - but I think it's because my sister in law will wear nothing BUT purple. Right down to the eye shadow. Seriously.)

The studio looks amazing! I would love, love, love to have a workspace like that. My workspace (er dining room) at home is also all IKEA (table, chairs, bookcase, drawers, even the lamp!). Gotta love them. Good luck with the rest of your preparations!

I think the whole purple thing was global (man), so many of us - okay maybe not global - didn't like it, but there was 'the turning', and then people started posting that they liked it after poo pooing the 'chocolate for the eyes' crew as hippies (not that there's anything wrong with that). I like it too, now. It's not purple, it's mulberry! Or something like that.
